ABSTRACT

Recently the name of Asperger Syndrome was disappeared and was unified with Autism Spectrum Disorder from the newly reorganized DSM-5 criteria. While controversy over its diagnosis has been ongoing, this study updated and reviewed the trends in academic researches that are related to the asperger syndrome published between 1994 and June 2016 in Korea. A total of 80 studies was selected based on inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria and was analyzed by the published year, the research topic, and the research type. The results of this review were as follows. First, the domestic researches related to asperger syndrome tended to increase significantly since 2008. Second, language and communication, social competence, and behavior were the main topics of researches and especially, social competence was the most popular topic in numerous researches.
